Chapter Two! (^-^) So sorry it took so long, I forgot about this account! Special thanks to those who reviewed, I love you guys more than Zuko loves honor.
A phone rang throughout the room.
Hanamoto Hagumi looked up from her self-made scrapbook and peered at Hanamoto Shūji- who had answered his phone.
"Hello?"
Hagu listened in.
"WHAT?"
Hagu inched closer, surprised at the man's sudden outburst.
Mayama's weary-strained voice on the other line could be heard.
"Please. Please come to the hospital immediately. I don't know what else to do." Mayama hurried his words, voice filled with panic.
Hagu felt her heart pick up. "Shuu-chan…?"
"A-Alright. We'll be there." he hung up.
Hagu instantly wondered what had happened, but voiced nothing out.
"It's Yamada. She's in the hospital."
"What happened?!"
From his seat on the floor and against the wall, Mayama looked up to see Hagu and Shūji run to him.
Mayama opened his mouth but no words came out. Hagu observed him before looking around the place. Everyone was already there. Morita was sitting on one of the chairs, staring blankly at the floor. Ayu's father sat next to him, arms crossed over his chest. Takemoto was worriedly look back at her, and Hagu tried to give him a comforting look despite her own emotions at the moment.
Then to the opposite side of Takemoto had been a man Hagu had seen a handful of times.
She knew him as the man Ayumi occasionally mentioned in her tales. Hagu blinked.
The man had a look of desperation. He tapped his foot and clenched his hands by his side and unclenched them over and over.
Impatient.
But who wouldn't be….?
Ayu was in the emergency room.
The air was dense and obvious tension was—
"I'm going to get us some drinks." said Mayama as he made a hurried escape from his spot on the floor.
Not too long after, Nomiya pushed himself back from the wall, unclenched his fists and followed Mayama down the hall.
"Whatever's going through your head," Nomiya finally blurted out, voicing his thoughts to Mayama, who in return, snapped his head in Nomiya's direction but said nothing. "... don't think any of this is your fault. Don't bother blaming yourself, it was an accident after all." Nomiya added.
Mayama stayed silent. Nomiya kept up with his pace.
He noticed the dried blood stains on Mayama's shirt.
Ayumi….
To him, Mayama looked like he could have broken down in tears any second.
The scent of rubber filled her senses as she came to. As well as the scent of antiseptics. Squeezing her eyes shut, Ayu strained to open them again and waited for her eyesight to adjust to the brightness of the room.
"Ayu-chan!" a voice chirped from her side.
Gradually, Ayumi sat up and winced as a pain shot through her, specifically to her abdomen.
"Careful, careful." A muscular older man warned her, his eyes holding a soft look. Ayu made a great effort to focus her eyes on the man. "Nonetheless, I'm glad my daughter's finally awake."
"Yeah." Ayu looked up to another man next to a blonde, little girl. He smiled down at Ayu, "You're still recovering."
Pause.
"Broken ribs."
Ayu turned her head to the voice and she saw a brown haired man sitting on a chair, not meeting her gaze.
That was when Ayu noticed the amount of people in that small white room she was in….
"Yamada-san?" a new voice inquired.
Ayumi quirked a brow….
Who?
Sorry it's so short, also!
